We have written a position on the importance of building priorities, habits and systems (PHS), a large-scale cultural change.
But with the large number of organizations taking on a renewed (or perhaps unprecedented) interest in reshaping their identification efforts to encourage inclusion, diminish prejudices, and become more overwhelming in general, we feel compelled to review gender and explain the underlying science. Because fighting systemic racism, you can’t do it just by making it a priority.
Here’s the elevator in PHS: priorities are mandatory to move the culture, but they are eliminated enough. Too often, leaders are too focused on obtaining primary cultural replenishment projects and fail to expand genuine behaviors and systems to this replenishment. Unfortunately, wise intentions never become implementation and prestige is maintained.
Based on our years of working with organizations to create a change of culture, through PHS and the science that accompanies it, we may be able to provide transparent rules on how to create projects that not only leave a lasting impact, but generate transformation.
This is what it’s like to act boldly right now.
Priorities
Making other Americans worry about a trick is the birth of the trip, not the end. But it’s less complicated to say than to say, as evidenced by the countless organizations that place their hopes on the compulsory schooling of prejudice as a panacea for their identification challenges.
It turns out that compulsory schooling of prejudice has the other effect on component participants, making them more biased, not less. As studies show, prejudice is an herbal component of life. If you have a brain, you have prejudices.
This suggests that organizations that only teach their staff about their prejudices, without giving them the machinery to label and mitigate those prejudices with each other, can make their group play station worse than if they hadn’t gained a lot of apple training.
Habits
Creating a lasting replenishment in behavior requires bringing those priorities to life in any everyday behavior. At NLI, our definition of culture is simple: culture is shared in everyday habits. In other words, what their other Americans are less important, and even more so how they act, as Americans and to each other.
Our paintings with clients have shown that the implementation of wise habits, through the SEEDS® model of NLI, has led to a long-term replenishment in large-scale behavior. According to our internal data, to date, approximately 78% of the more than 9,500 participants, in dozens of companies, actively mitigate prejudices once or more per week.
This is what looks like love to make anything a priority: not only expecting change, but also acting boldly to create that change.
Systems
Lastly, systems are the structural implementations that reinforce habits. They remove obstacles while creating opportunities to shift behavior. And they enable habits to become the norm by making them easy and accessible.
